    Go for it, any niggles with handling might take some fiddling with suspension set ups and the likes. That's half the fun though making things work

    I love the handling on the Bandit, crap as standard... 45mm jack up, few mm lower in front forks and a lot of preload on the front end (using washers or a spacer and a little extra fork oil.

    Made some myself for a '91 zxr750 i fully rebuilt/tarted years ago. Did a bit of measuring of existing dogbones and angles and just made them out of some steel. fitted them and left the front forks as they were and it defo helped sharpen the steering on it. Didnt experience any negative handling issues at any speed
    Looks nice, standard headlight ? not sure on the mirrors but thats just me, would hate filtering with them. Take it easy testing the linkages out !
    Any more mods planned ?

    I think it all depends on the set up before you buy mod it I changed the shock absorber on the gs for one off a sv650 gave me about an extra 4" on the back end, sharpend the steering but was no adverse affects other than on aide stand, my mate on the other hand swaped the dog bones on his gsxr750 and if he hit a bump in the road his front wheel left the road until he let go of the throttle
